Mike Andes grew his lawn care business from $10,000 in March revenue to a $25,000-$30,000 April target. He's hitting a 40% close rate but needs 70-75% to scale, and hiring is the main bottleneck after a recent bad hire.
$25,000–$30,000
About two weeks
Just over $10,000
About low-40s percent ("40 something percent")
Approximately 70–75%
I brought the guy on didn't end up working out had to let him go after about two weeks just wasn't cutting it poor quality and whatnot and was hard to train limiting our ability to grow because I wasn't going to be able to train anybody else because I was probably going to take two to three months to get this guy trained so the goal for April now is between 25 to 30,000 at least for the Huntersville location I believe we'll be pushing that upper end of 30,000 lots of work coming in I just need more time you know the ability to close it's been been it's been a roller coaster our close ratio right now is not great it's at like 40 something percent that needs to be much higher almost double that we need to shoot for like 70, 75% we ended up doing just over $10,000 for the month of March so that's not bad for the first full month in business hired our first guy brought a.
